Nagoya University Graduate School of Engineering Overview for Academic Year 2024
The Graduate School aims to contribute to the advancement of culture by delving deeply into education andresearch in theories and application of academics, as well as to train academic researchers, highly qualified
professionals and specialists, and educators.
A master’s program and a doctoral program have been established at the Graduate School of Engineering.
The standard minimum duration of study for these programs is two years for the master’s program and three years
for the doctoral program.
In the master’s program, we cultivate students’ academic knowledge and research skills or the high-level ability
necessary for occupations that demand a high level of expertise. In the doctoral program, we cultivate the high-level
ability and rich academic knowledge necessary for conducting research activities as an independent researcher.
